LAND USE ANALYSIS Overview The subject property is part of a larger parcel that has been in use for agriculture and forestry for many years. The five (5) acres that make up this request are along Southampton Parkway. Should the request be approved by the Board of Supervisors, a subdivision that meets the requirements of the County subdivision ordinance will be prepared and recorded prior to development. Belmont Peanuts has been a part of the agricultural community in Southampton County for over 75 years, per the supplied narrative. Belmont Peanuts, which currently has 24 full-time employees and eight (8) seasonal employees, needs to expand their peanut processing capability. The expansion anticipates enabling the company to add five (5) additional full-time employees upon completion. The applicant wishes to construct a peanut processing facility made up of a 5,000 square foot kitchen area, a 12,000 square foot warehouse, and a 3,000 square foot retail building. Future plans include an additional 2,000 square feet of retail area and an additional 12,000 square feet of warehousing. Employee and customer parking as well as loading and area for landscaping are shown on the provided conceptual plan. The B-3, Highway Commercial Zoning District, includes a number of uses. The applicant, through this application and the submitted conditions, limits the use of this property to the following uses:

The property has been in agriculture and forestry use for many years. The area has been designated as Industrial on the Comprehensive Plan since the 2015 Plan update, and the proposed facility is an appropriate use in that Plan designation. The property is located between Bryant’s Church and Meherrin Roads, across Southampton Parkway from Kitchen’s Welding. The adoption of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan, indicating both commercial and industrial uses along both sides of Southampton Parkway from the Greensville County line to Meherrin Road, encourages this type of development in this area. Site Topography and Characteristics The parent site is made up of both agricultural and wooded land. The proposed five-acre lot will be created along Southampton Parkway in an area that is currently used for agricultural purposes. The proposed plan provides the retention of a 12’ wide path that serves the agricultural property to the rear of the proposed facility. Per the soils report, the property is made up of prime farmland, and prime farmland if drained.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION At their October 18, 2918 meeting, the Planning Commisison made a unanimous recommendation of approval of the application: Beth Lewis states this is an application by Jamie H. Weist, applicant, for Belmont Peanuts of Southampton Inc., owner, for a zoning map amendment from A-1, Agricultural, to CB-3, Conditional Highway Commercial and CM-2, Conditional General Industrial for a 5.3-acre portion of Tax Parcel 73-25, which is 190.77 acres in total. The property is located on the south side of Southampton Parkway approximately 6,500 feet west of its intersection with Meherrin Road. The property is in the Capron Voting and Magisterial Districts. This property is across the street from Kitchen’s welding. This is a zoning map amendment request to change 5 acres from agricultural to commercial and industrial. If you look at your copy of the comprehensive plan, it says that this request is exactly what the comprehensive plan was seeking in this area around Southampton Parkway. This is a facility for the processing and distribution, and sales of peanut products. The applicant for the owner is here. Belmont Peanuts has been a business in Southampton County for over 75 years. They have 24 full time employees and 8 seasonal employees. And they anticipate adding approximately 5 additional full time employees after they build this. You have the site plan that shows their warehousing. There is some peanut processing and some commercial, all on this site. The required parking and it provides the required storm water features. They worked with VDOT to have the correct type of commercial entrance. And this is a conditional zoning request and they eliminate most of the possibilities in the B-3 district. They leave in as possibly the use of a gardening center, a billboard, offices, restaurants, retail sales, temporary stands, or outdoor areas, like a Christmas tree lot and so forth, pumpkins, produce. They also leave in the general industrial zone district, retail and services that would fit and peanut storage and processing. That is all I have. The owner and applicant are both here. Chairman Drake states thank you Mrs. Lewis. Are there any other questions from the Board before we open the hearing? Everybody knows the location, correct? Okay. We are familiar with that. Richard Railey states Mr. Chairman, I am not going to recuse myself, but I have represented the applicant from time to time. I do not see it as a conflict. Chairman Drake states okay. Yes sir. Thank you Mr. Railey. So we all know the location. And everyone should certainly be aware of Belmont Peanuts. They have been around a while. Commissioner Phillips states 75 years. Chairman Drake states very tasty. I like them. Anyway, any questions from the Board before we proceed. If not, I will now open the public hearing. And I would ask if the applicant would like to come forward and I will ask that anyone coming forward to speak tonight, for the record, if you do not mind, just give your name for the record.

Jamie Weist states yes sir. Thank you. Mr. Chairman and the other commissioners. I am Jamie Weist with Kimley Horn and I am working with the Marks family and Belmont Peanuts. They are here this evening sitting back here behind me. I am just going to give you a real brief overview of the project and what we plan on doing. I am not going into a lot of details, but if you have any questions, then I will be glad to try to answer them, or I can have the Marks family available as well. Jamie Wiest gave the following power point presentation.

Jamie Weist states that is my brief overview. Mr. Marks, the owner would like to come up and say a few words as well. Robert Marks states good evening Chairman Drake and members of the Planning Commission. My name is Robert Marks. I am the son of the owner. I am honored and privileged to speak this evening on behalf of my family’s business. We have a strong testament to the generational dedication that we have placed in Southampton County. I stand before you this evening representing the next generation of business leaders in our community. One that is committed to running this family business locally and

directly contributing to the economic strength of Southampton County. We believe in the product that we promote. We work diligently to deliver a superior peanut product for customers. This expansion is critical for our operation to continue to grow with this community. Our family would greatly appreciate your favorable consideration of our rezoning application. I just thank you for your time. Chairman Drake states thank you. Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Marks? Thank you very much. Jamie Weist states and just to put a bow on this, the Marks family is very appreciative of you all hearing this and giving us an opportunity. We are here for any questions, even if you have them at the end, or something comes up after the public hearing, so thank you. Chairman Drake states thank you sir. Kim Marks states good evening. My name is Kim Marks and I am the President of the Franklin Southampton County Chamber of Commerce. It is a pleasure to be here tonight to speak to you on behalf of the Chamber. Since 1993, Belmont Peanuts have been cooking and selling Virginia Gourmet Peanuts. The processing facility makes use of agricultural products grown in the county. They produce and distribute over 400 tons of delicious peanut products annually. The proposed new facility will enable further growth of this long time Southampton County agricultural business. The Chamber supports the growth of this company and is eager to welcome this new facility on highway 58. While traveling the 58 corridor, countless visitors will be able to stop and enjoy a taste of Southampton and discover why peanuts grown in our community are surely the finest. Business growth is critical to success of the county. This expansion will allow for increased tax revenue and also create 5 new jobs. On behalf on the Franklin Southampton County Chamber of Commerce, I request the Planning Commission recommend the proposed zoning amendment to allow Belmont Peanuts to construct their new facility on highway 58. The Chamber supports this growing business. We thank Belmont Peanuts for enhancing our beauty. Thank you. Chairman Drake states thank you Mrs. Marks. Bryan Hedgepeth states good evening Chairman Drake and other members of the Planning Commission. My name is Bryan Hedgepeth and I am here on behalf of the Franklin Southampton Economic Development Incorporated Board of Directors. We would like to officially endorse Belmont Peanuts rezoning application from agriculture to conditional highway service commercial and conditional general industrial to construct a new production facility and retail store. This has been a vision of this family for a long time and it has taken a lot of planning and sweat and a lot of time. Our staff has been very fortunate to be working with the Marks family for a number of years on this project. We are thrilled to see it finally come to this point. Southampton County is known for our agricultural history and the expansion of this nature only compliments our agricultural roots. We are confident that Belmont Peanuts will have much success in the future as they further grow and develop their business in Southampton County. We ask for your favorable consideration of this rezoning request. Thank you. Chairman Drake states thank you.

Amanda Jarratt states good evening Chairman Drake and members of the Planning Commission. My name is Amanda Jarratt with the Southampton Franklin Economic Development. I am privileged to be here with you tonight. I am here this evening to also speak in favor of the Belmont rezoning application. This project, as has already been mentioned, will have a positive impact on Southampton County. It is a significant investment by the Marks family and it also compliments their agricultural community. We are thrilled that the Marks family was awarded the first agricultural and forestry grant in Southampton County by Governor Northam on September 27, 2018. It has been a pleasure working with the Marks family on this project and we just ask that you give favorable consideration to their rezoning request. Thank you for your service. Chairman Drake states thank you Mrs. Jarratt. Warren Beale states Chairman Drake and members of the Planning Commission, my name is Warren Beale. I am a lifelong resident of Southampton County. I would like to speak supporting the rezoning application of Belmont Peanuts. Belmont started their business on the farm and wishes to expand and build a new facility; which would add additional jobs, retain jobs, and add new tax revenues for the county. We often try to attract new industry from many areas. It is exciting to have a local homegrown business grow and expand. We are a peanut producing area. And they take a local grown product, grow it, process it, and sell to us. Belmont Peanuts creates no environmental issues, noise, or any other problem that I am aware of, or by the adjoining neighbors, except for the pleasant smell of cooking peanuts. The property is in an area of the county’s comprehensive plan that is designated an industrial corridor. I ask for your support in the rezoning. Thank you. Chairman Drake states thank you Mr. Beale. Beth Lewis states I believe I heard that when the governor’s office sent someone to speak to the current Belmont Peanut office, that the current building will still be used. Is that correct. Jamie Weist states that is correct. Chairman Drake states thank you Mrs. Lewis. Anyone else like to come forward? If not, I will close the hearing. Any discussion from the Board? Any questions? Commissioner Allston states I have one question. Have any of the neighbors had any comments? Beth Lewis states I received no telephone calls. The notices went out and the sign was up. But no calls. And if you look at the traffic information, in case anyone has any concerns, I believe it is based on two tractor-trailers a day. So that is four trips. In counts as one. And out counts as one. So that is four tractor-trailer trips a day. That is not substantial at all for the traffic pattern. Chairman Drake states very good. That is probably less than when they are harvesting in a day’s time. Probably multiple trailers a day then. I appreciate the comment. Commissioner Tennessee states I would think that with the number of employees that would make them one of the largest agriculture employers in the county; wouldn’t it. Chairman Drake states it could possibly be. Mr. Mann, would it be one of the largest, well, I do not know. It would be ranking very high. I don’t know if it would be the top employer, but it would be very high. Very good. Mr. Phillips, it is in your district. Commissioner Phillips states Mr. Day’s. Chairman Drake states Mr. Day, I am sorry.

Commissioner Day states I am excited to see this for the Mark’s family. For the kids to be back at home and Mom and Dad with the grandbabies with the future. I think that it is an exciting time for you all. And I think everything looks in order. I would like to make a motion that we pass this favorably forward to the next process and step. Commissioner Phillips states second. Chairman Drake asked for further discussion and then called for the vote.

Belmont Peanuts – Project Narrative

Rezoning Submittal – August 3, 2018 – Southampton County, Virginia

I. Background

The Marks family has contributed to the important agricultural business community of

Southampton County for over 75 years. The proud founders and owners of Belmont Peanuts

since 1993, started with humble beginnings on the family farm and now operate a nationally

recognized business providing locally grown Virginia peanuts to satisfied customers around the

world. The company has grown to 24 full time employees, 8 seasonal employees, and

produce/distribute over 400 tons of delicious peanut products annually. The company anticipates

an additional 5 full time employees over the next several years.

II. Project Description

As the company has grown, so has the need for updated and expanded facilities. The Marks

family currently own approximately 10 acres of farmland on Highway 58 approximately one-mile

West of Southampton High School on the South side of the highway (see attached exhibit). The

enclosed preliminary plat proposes a subdivision of the property, a portion of which will remain in

agricultural production (A-1 = 5.3 ac.), and rezoning the western portion of the property for

industrial (M-2 = 4 ac.) and business (B-3 = 1.3 ac.) uses. The uses are primarily related to

processing, production and distribution of peanut products for retail. A number of exclusions to

the allowable uses for these two zoning categories are included in the attached proffer statement.

The project will generally consist of access from Highway 58 eastbound, construction of a

kitchen/processing facility (5,000 sf), warehouse (12,000 sf), and retail (3,000 sf with future

expansion of additional 3,0002,000 sf). Employee and customer parking, loading dock and

landscaping will surround the proposed buildings.

A review of the Southampton County Comprehensive Plan indicates this proposed use and

rezoning is in compliance with the comprehensive plan for this corridor (Industry/Business

District).

III. Supporting Facilities

The following supporting facilities are proposed for this project:

a. Utilities Water for the proposed facilities will be provided by a Class IIb on-site well and water

distribution system. The well will be permitted and constructed in accordance with

requirements of the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). Approximate location of the

proposed well is shown on the attached exhibit.

Page 2

kimley-horn.com 11818 Rock Landing Drive, Ste. 100, Newport News, VA 23606 757.320.5636

Sanitary Sewer discharge will be accommodated through permitting and construction of

an on-site sewer disposal system in accordance with the requirements of the VDH. VDH

staff have performed preliminary on-site soil suitability analysis and have identified an

area suitable for construction which is shown on the attached exhibit.

Electric service will be provided through an agreement with Community Electric

Cooperative. Gas service is not anticipated for this project.

b. Parking Parking for employees and retail customers will be provided as shown on the attached

exhibit. Southampton County code requires 1 space for every 2 employees (12 spaces)

and 1 space for every 200 square feet of retail space (25 spaces). A total of 37 spaces

are required and 39 spaces (included 2 ADA) are proposed. ADA accessibility will be

provided from the ADA spaces to the building as required by code. Landscaping will be

provided in accordance with the County’s requirements.

c. Access from Highway 58 We have met with officials from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and

they indicated that a Turn Lane Warrant Analysis is required for this project based on

projected ingress/egress from the highway. Kimley-Horn has performed the analysis in

accordance and in collaboration with VDOT and it is included with this submittal. See

attached turn lane warrant analysis for results and recommendations.

d. Stormwater Management The site is crowned and generally drains to the rear where an existing ditch runs along

the rear property line. There is a ditch along Highway 58 in the right of way that captures

a portion of the front part of the property. During site design, the applicant will conform to

the requirements of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and Southampton

County stormwater management requirements to provide adequate “Best Management

Practices” (BMP) addressing stormwater quality and quantity discharges generated by

the project. This will include appropriate erosion and sediment control measures, land

disturbance permitting, and obtaining a General Construction Permit (VSMP and

SWPPP) as required. No impacts to wetlands/streams are anticipated and adequate

buffers will be provided.

Right-Turn Lane Warrant AnalysisPage 1

kimley-horn.com 11818 Rock Landing Drive, Suite 100, Newport News, VA 23606 757 213 8600

RIGHT-TURN LANE WARRANT ANALYSISThe proposed access to the Belmont Peanuts warehouse and retail store will consist of aright-in/right-out access control on Southampton Parkway (U.S. Route 58), approximately1.25 miles west of the interchange with State Route 35 (Meherrin Road).

The speed limit for this segment of Southampton Parkway is posted at 60 miles per hour(mph). Southampton Parkway is a four-lane principal arterial with 15,000 vehicles per day,per the 2017 Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) published count data. Using thepublished VDOT data, a directional peak hour percentage of 60% and a K-factor of 0.12 wasused to estimate the peak hour approach volume for the right-turn lane warrant analysis. Usingthese factors, the eastbound peak hour volume for the right-turn lane analysis onSouthampton Parkway was calculated to be 1,051 vehicles per hour.

The developer expects the number of employees for the proposed development to be 24, withan average of two tractor trailers entering the development per day. Belmont Peanuts willoperate a 12,000 square feet of warehouse space, 5,000 square feet of kitchen space and3,000 square feet of retail use. Plans for a future retail expansion of 3,000 feet is also expectedon the site.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition was usedto estimate the expected number of trips entering and exiting the site based on the number ofemployees and proposed retail space. Due to the uncommon nature of the proposeddevelopment, the closest applicable land used type provided in the Trip Generation Manualwas determined to be General Light Industrial (ITE Code 110). The projected number ofdriveway trips generated by the proposed development is shown in Table 1.

Peanuts site entrance. The right-turn lane warrant analysis is shown in Figure 1 for the AMand PM peak hour. Based on the projected volume of traffic, a taper would be required fortraffic conditions during the AM peak hour.

Based on the presence of trucks accessing this site, uncertainty associated with the numberof trips generated by the site, and the high travel speeds on Southampton Highway, it isrecommended that a full-width turn lane and taper be constructed for the proposed entranceat this time. In accordance with VDOT standards, the recommended turn lane should provideat least 200 feet of storage and 200 feet of taper length.

PrefaceSoil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment.

Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.

Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?cid=nrcs142p2_053951).

Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations.

The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey.

Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are MadeSoil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity.

Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.

The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape.

Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.

Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil

5

scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research.

The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.

Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.

Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties.

While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil.

Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.

After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

Map Unit DescriptionsThe map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.

A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.

Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape.

The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or

Custom Soil Resource Report

11

landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities.

Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.

Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.

Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.

A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.

An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.

An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.

Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
